  • HI .. This seemed to work as planned, however when I click on the sub-category it does not not take me to the posts which are related to the sub-category. It tells me there are ‘no categories’ in the content area.

    the website is lgyc.com and when you hover over racing and then click on ‘race results 2013’ I want it to list the sub-categories, which you may click on to get to the posts. Currently it shows all posts from category ‘race results 2013’.

    Thanks for any assistance

  • Would love to know how to display posts of a category or a sub category that has no sub categories…

    Please help 🙂

    Thanks
